I purchased your book and used the empty bale and other tips in your book to
steadily improve my scores. I shoot BHFS and use your Knuckle Under release. I
went from 282-31X to a 298-44X. I have shot several 300s. My best is a 300 with
54X. I won a local 3-D shoot on my second try. Highest score on the course is
924. I scored 888 and 2nd place was 863. It's a tough course, but it's fun. I
also nailed a 3 point (western count, 6 point eastern count) blacktail at 30
yards with the back tension release. It worked just like in practice! Right
where I aimed! I'm 65 years old. Some old dogs can learn new tricks! Thank you
for the book and all of your help. I'm going to continue to improve."
Yours

Dear Bernie, After attending your school and shortening my draw length by 2”,
and changing numerous other things, I went back home and started shooting the
empty bale. It took me 2000 arrows to get the feeling I was after. Next, I shot
your reduced target bridge program for a month and then went back to shooting
targets. You said that my scores would go down before they came up and they did!
But, after about a month my scores started coming up. 300 with 45Xs, then 55 Xs,
and one day 300-60 Xs. I now shoot carefree archery thanks to you. Hi, my name
is Paul Arnold and I had target panic! Thank you, Bernie.
Joella Bates, five time World 3-D
Champion and two time National Champion of Waverly, TN is also the
first woman in the world to ever kill an African Cape Buffalo with a bow! She
travels all over the U.S. doing dealer clinics and shooting exhibitions for
children and adults.
Larry Boone of Pinckney, MI, a
graduate of the shooter’s school, broke the world record at the IFAA World
Championships (Senior Division) with a perfect 600 96XCs. The old record was
594 with 92Xs. He also finished 4th overall at the NFAA Indoor
Nationals in Tulsa. Larry credits several tips he learned at the shooter’s
school “. . . total focus on the X (not the sight) and to shoot sixty
one-arrow tournaments, not one sixty-arrow tournament . . . which is the way to
get in the winner’s circle.” Thanks Bernie, Larry Boone
 Glenn
Campbell of Lincoln Park, MI. Since attending the
shooter’s school and shortening his draw 3 inches, Glenn placed 4th in Las
Vegas BHFS, 1st MI State FITA Indoor, 2nd NFAA MI State Indoor and set 2
Michigan Archery Association state records. He has turned pro and is now
routinely shooting 300s with 57-59 Xs. In Feb., 2001, Glenn’s 5-man team set a
new national record of 3,000 total points and won a Gold Medal at the
Canadian Indoor Nationals. At Lansing, MI, for the NAA Indoor Nationals,
Glenn placed second behind top pro, Dee Wilde. He has since become a
Certified NFAA Master Coach and is eager to share his knowledge with any
shooter. Glenn wrote, “I never could have come this far if it wasn’t for
Bernie and Jan’s school and all of the tapes Robinhood Videos offers. I’m living
proof that, with the right schooling and a lot of work, you can be a winner,
too!” Glenn Campbell, Mathews Pro Staff Shooter
Randy Chapel of Virginia has won both
IBO and ASA World titles in the Pro Division.
Joe Church of Toledo, OH, had target
panic and was snapshooting. He bought Bernie’s PanicMaster and Bow Simulator on
Thrusday and won the IBO World on Sunday. The following weekend he won
the ASA World in the barebow division. He raised his average 15 points in
two days using the Simulator.
 Lonnie
Collins of Westland, MI became the Metropolitan
Archery Assn. Male Freestyle Shooter of the Year. He has since won the
NFAA State Outdoor, the Mid-States Marked 3-D in the freestyle class and
finished 4th in the Canadian Indoor Nationals. Lonnie wrote to Bernie
and Jan, “My wife and I competed in Las Vegas. I wound up winning $900, and
since I’ve seen you twice, I’m still way ahead on the money. I think I’m getting
a great return on my investment, and archery is a lot more fun now! Keep telling
the truth in your own direct style. Good luck, may God bless you both and thanks
for the support!”Sincerely, Lonnie Collins.
Riley Cox of Mt. Sidney, VA, is a
young 3-D shooter who had target panic and attended the Shooter’s School with
his dad. He placed 2nd at the 2nd Leg of the IBO Triple
Crown at Erie, PA and cleaned the course the first day with a perfect 200. In
2003 he was “ASA Shooter of the Year” in his division.
 From
Paul Cybart Dear Bernie, My form of target panic was freezing. It
surfaced when I changed from using pins to a scope for 3-D. This led me to get a
back tension release. It’s amazing how my affliction with freezing totally
disappears when using it. However, at first I failed to have confidence in using
it outdoors for 3-D, so I would go back to using a regular caliper release . . .
and the freezing would resurface. The first time I used the back tension
release, I liked it! The second time I used it . . . I shot my best score ever!
Then I used it for the first time on a 3-D course at the North Coast
Challenge Triple Crown in Conneaut, NY. My son shot the first arrow on
target number one. It was a good one; binocular confirmation looked like it was
an X (in the middle of the ten). So, I held on his arrow and released. It was a
good one, too! When it hit, we heard what we thought was an arrow slap. When we
got closer, it was more than that . . . it was a robinhood! Anyway, I used that
new back tension release again at a local 3-D event and finished with a 288 out
of 300. The new release I bought was one of your Bernie’s Can’t Punch wrist
strap caliper models. Be assured that I will be promoting and recommending this
release.
Thanks, again, Paul Cybart
